Dear Franky,
This is indeed a bug in the Python intel and foss -2014b easyconfig's,
I reported and fixed this last month, see
https://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-easyconfigs/pull/1112
However this was not merged in yet.

It is complaining about freetype, but we have it installed on our
system as an rpm. Likewise, it does not find libpng. Actually, we
needed freetype-devel as well as libpng-devel to get the build do work...
However, mentioning both as osdependencies did not stop the build from
starting, so it seems to just ignore the osdependencies. Is this as
intended or what is wrong here?
That said: should we have freetype-devel and libpng-devel as rpm on
the system, or should we have them as modules, preferably built with
Easybuild and mentioned as dependencies (not osdependencies)?
-- Many thanks for your reply,
Franky
